Barcelona great Hristo Stoichkov admits he's a big fan of Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum.

The Dutchman is a target for new Barca coach Ronald Koeman.

And on Saturday night, however, Stoichkov appeared to welcome Wijnaldum to his old side.

Accompanying an Instagram photo of himself with the 29-year-old, he wrote: "The next number-8 of my dear Barca."

Stoichkov, 54, spent seven years with the Catalan club over two spells in the 1990s.

He won five LaLiga titles and a European Cup as well as the 1994 Ballon d'Or.
